About 2020 Nashville explosion in brief
On December 25, 2020, a suicide bomber detonated a recreational vehicle car bomb in downtown Nashville, Tennessee, United States. It took place at 166 Second Avenue North between Church Street and Commerce Street at 6: 30 am, adjacent to an AT&T network hub. Witnesses reported hearing gunshots, and loudspeakers on the vehicle warning them to evacuate before the explosion, felt miles away. The bomber died at the scene, while no other fatalities were reported. At least three vehicles burned after the bombing, at least 41 businesses were damaged, and one building located across from the site of the explosion collapsed. Outages continued to affect communication services, including Internet, phone, and 9-1-1 services, for days after the explosion. The FBI determined the bomber was 63-year-old Anthony Quinn Warner, a Nashville resident believed to have acted alone.
More than 500 tips and leads were received, and more than 250 FBI personnel from at least seven field offices were involved in the investigation. A reward was announced for any information about the bombing. A recovered vehicle part containing the vehicle identification number was also linked to Warner; a recovered DNA sample was later matched to Warner. The bombing caused infrastructural damage to a nearby AT&t service facility, which contained a telephone exchange with network equipment in it, resulting in days-long communication service outages across the U.S. Officials later said a full service restoration could take days. The explosion was caused by a car bomb carried in a Thor Motor Coach Chateau RV which was parked outside an AT & T transmission building.
